THE ROLL CALL: TEAM ATOS NO-GI TRAINING.

You: But, DSTRYR/SG. Why would I want to watch a video clip of a bunch of sweaty dudes wrestling in Spandex or Spandex-like attire? That's weird.

DSTRYR/SG: Grappler, I think you answered that question a long time ago. Let's just admit that both you and I live for this stuff, and there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it;s awesome.

Seriously though. Watching elite grappling competitors roll and train is super good stuff. One, it inspires you to do much more than your 2 half-assed rolls after spending 30 minutes of drilling leg drag passes with your teammate while complaining about how little sleep you get with the new baby and all.

And, two, it shows you how they do it and that gives you ideas about your own training. Are you learning a new technique? Maybe not. But, your taking everything in and that's what it's all about.

Atos (here in California), including Galvao, Mendes Bros., JT and Keenan (and I'm sure many more) is an amazing BJJ team and this clip is worth a view(or two).
